The house, with an abstract painting by artist David Amico, belonged in 1998 to Bruce Karatz, chairman and CEO of KB Home. The company was then called Kaufman and Broad.In the photos, "the door behind Gray leads into his (Karatz') den," said company vice president Larry Gotlieb. "(Karatz) recognized the door that leads into his den and he recognized the Amico painting."
Karatz has since sold the 8,451-square-foot house. But Gotlieb said Karatz still owns the distinctive painting that is shown in the photos.
Gotlieb said Karatz hosted a campaign meeting on the morning of Jan. 31, 1998, the day the photos were taken. Gotlieb said he also attended the meeting.
I know this sounds silly, but I still think these guys are lying.
Looking at that picture, there is no way that's in someone's house. That's a heavy-duty door, the type of which is typically only found in public buildings. I'm just not buying that explanation.
